Crownhill Elementary School Periodic Review 2025

The Site includes both the Crownhill Elementary School (School) property at 1500 Rocky Point Road (Parcel No. 152401-2-027-2005, the northern parcel) and the northern portion of the Bremerton United Methodist Church (BUMC) property at 1150 Marine Drive (Parcel No. 152401-2-098-2009, the southern parcel).


The Site was used for sand and gravel mining up to the 1930s. After excavation stopped, the pit was used as a municipal/industrial landfill in the 1930s and 1940s. Site investigations indicate that the depth of fill extended from 15 to 40 feet below grade. Bremerton School District acquired the northern Site parcel from Kitsap County in 1954. Construction of the current school building was completed in 1996.


Ecology completed a periodic review of the Crownhill Elementary School Bremerton SD cleanup site (Site). The summary of the finding is:


  • Soil is still above state cleanup standards which is protected under an cover system that follows the environmental covenant requirements.
  • Arsenic is above state cleanup standards in groundwater.
  • TCE has consistently exceeded the Site cleanup level in one monitoring well.


Due to the proximity of residences to the Site, the PLP’s consultant and Ecology are preparing soil gas and groundwater monitoring plans to provide additional characterization and bounding of the TCE concern.
